An Introduction to Champion Edition.

Hello. We’re Champion Edition, a Cork-based independent record label. We love music. In particular the independent and underground music of our hometown and its surrounding areas. As fans, and as devotees of good music in general, we figured we wanted to give something back to the music scene and contribute in any way we could.

Over the coming weeks, we will be announcing our debut releases, from a clutch of fine bands and sound artists. These will be released in cassette and digital download formats, for reasons of economy and preservation of physical formats at a price fair to both listener and label. We will also be venturing into the realm of vinyl. There will be more information on these ventures in due course.

We’ll also help represent two other labels in our capacity as public-relations droids: Rimbaud Records (punk/hardcore/metal) and Arkhangelsk Recordings (prog/jazz). The nature of our relationship will be explained further in a forthcoming blog post.
